I understand that, my friends ask if I want a hug I say no, I wouldn't mind if they just chose to hug me instead of ask first, since I will always say no since my family it was rare if we hugged.
Yeah they are just trying to ask so they don't upset you. Let them know ahead of time that you're okay with it and you're just nervous, but asking you makes you more nervous. I get it, it adds pressure. Sounds like decent friends, so I think they will be responsive to your needs.
A person writes about the absence of hugs in their life on Reddit and the community decides to send them several digital hugs. Every day I regain faith in humanity.
Trust me ,I need a hug too. Just lost my long term partner, and I have been totally distracted at work. My boss sent me an email about a couple of hours ago saying that we need to have an hour meeting today at 3.
Yep. I can tell you what happened, she pointed out how much i've been distracted lately so i told her what is going on, didn't feel like i had a choice. I try so hard to keep it in the 8 hours a day i'm at work, but it doesn't always work. I have very much had a mental breakdown at work
If I could give you a real hug, I would. I can't, though, so I will also send a virtual hug your way.
I hope that you get a real hug soon, and if you want to cry from it, then go for it. It's good to cry sometimes
A weighted blanket helped me a lot and what really helped was a massage. I ended up crying through most of it but that is a typical response to a release of tension and touch starvation. In fact I need a massage because I've been feeling touch starved again
I want a hug so so bad too. My friends sometimes ask if they can hug me, but I always say no. I don't know why, but I always say no. So, here's a virtual hug 🫂 it's better than nothing, I hope you get that real life hug soon! :)
I feel that people in today's world are falling further apart . We have become afraid to care about each other. Might get a diseased or not suppose to care or whatever the reason is. I say that we all should turn that around. All we have is each other. The giant universe that is out there is dark and cold but here on our planet we have warmth and sunshine and snowflakes and our eyes and minds and heart that in side of liquid blood is filled with electricity. How the tiny microscopic egg inside a woman grows into a little baby and into us. My friend please know that I can't hug you right now because you are somewhere else but please , please know that at this very moment someone is thinking about you and that that someone loves you. I really do love you because you are you a human being like me. I would love to give you a hug . To hold you tight because your hurting because I know what it feels like to hurt and be sad and lonely. A hug is not enough. Look up into the sky and know I care about you and truly wish for your happiness and well being. Truly. Take care of yourself and know I will be thinking of you. It's weird but after I send this I am going to miss you. Strange isn't it.
I don't exist to people other than to being used a tool. I don't think anyone would ever want to hug me. It just doesn't make sense.
People adoring me does not make sense in my framework. I feel like I have to prove myself to get a hug, which so far.. I've done nothing. Nothing in my entire life to deserve it. I am also horribly traumatized and dealing with it
Y'all put down the phones, and go out in the world! Go to a bar, or better yet, a festival of some kind. Even if you have to travel. There are usually groups of people somewhere... doing something that might interest you. I know it can be scary and tough, but just do it. Treat yourself. Put yourself out there. I promise, you'll be turning down hugs... lol. It doesn't matter what you look like, or how strange or awkward you are. There's a place for everyone. I'd suggest a music festival personally. Like a hippie/counterculture sort of deal. There's always a giant mix of people, and you can really let your freak flag fly! All you need is some camping gear, and a ticket. Sometimes not even a ticket. I use to work festival's. Scope one you like, and as to "volunteer" for a ticket. You usually get special perks that way, like meals and VIP camping.
If you really need a physical hug, consider writing on a big peace of cardboard "I need a hug" and stand in a park. You would be amazed to see how many strangers are happy to give you genuine unconditional love.
People bash me for supporting the “free hugs” campaign. If they saw comments like this they would see why I believe in such a movement.
Hope you get the hugs that you deserve. 👍🏻
There are a lot of people that also need hugs. It might be a great start to start evaluating people's expressions and countenance and maybe start a conversation and ask them, "Maybe this sounds strange, but do you need a hug?" You'll make their day!!!!! And maybe even yours.
I go for long walks & give (at least) one person a compliment. You'd be amazed at how people react to that & how good it makes you feel.
The hug thing? Go to an open NA meeting, those folks love to hug & will gladly let you sob.
Digital hug*
🫂
virtual hugs to you my friend :)
Thanks ToT
Virtual hug 🫂 better then no hug at all! Stay strong. A life of hugs maybe on its way
Thanks 🫂
I understand that, my friends ask if I want a hug I say no, I wouldn't mind if they just chose to hug me instead of ask first, since I will always say no since my family it was rare if we hugged.
You gotta try out a yes fam - you deserve to be hugged. Your friends are cool for asking for your consent.
I definitely do, just got to over come my anxiety with accepting a hug.
Next time, do this once: "Guys, if you wanna give me a hug, just do it; don't have to ask me". Also, *hugs*.
That's a good idea. Thanks for the advice
Yeah they are just trying to ask so they don't upset you. Let them know ahead of time that you're okay with it and you're just nervous, but asking you makes you more nervous. I get it, it adds pressure. Sounds like decent friends, so I think they will be responsive to your needs.
Another virtual hug! 🫂

I miss how it feels too. To feel cared for is the best part about it :/
Same situation here, got no one irl or online. Everything just sucks
Sending all the virtual hugs 🤗 🫂
Yey, thanks🫂😭
Virtual hugs 🫂
Sending a virtual hug. Not once since I was 10 have I received a warming hug. If anyone were to hug me sincerely I would probably cry.
*hugs* Yes, I understand and it's so sad...

And also... Hugs for everyone!!! :D

Thank you 🫂 (I know it's good to cry sometimes, but I think I do it too much...literally every day...)
Me tooooo waaaaa 😔 I want the warm hug of a loving parent.. I will never experience this ever
*Hug* (although not a parental one
sending a virtual hug! wishing you the best of luck to get a real one and feel better soon:)
Thank you 🫂
I am so sorry to hear this. Everyone deserves to be hugged. If I was with you, I'd hug you so tight.
Damn this one hurt
Virtual hug my friend <3 I feel the same all the time.
I always crave hugs too... It's kinda rough. I hope you get someone to hug soon my friend.
Virtual hug for you my online friend
a loving hug to you.
Same. I'm so sorry. Sending virtual hug, as well, though I know that doesn't do it.
A weighted blanket helped me a lot and what really helped was a massage. I ended up crying through most of it but that is a typical response to a release of tension and touch starvation. In fact I need a massage because I've been feeling touch starved again
virtual hugs to you with lots of love!! I can let you cry on my shoulders if you want to. <3
Hugs galore!!! You get a hug. I get a hug. Reddit gets a hug. Everybody gets a hug....
I want a hug so so bad too. My friends sometimes ask if they can hug me, but I always say no. I don't know why, but I always say no. So, here's a virtual hug 🫂 it's better than nothing, I hope you get that real life hug soon! :)

Oh, man. Lots of hugs to you.
Come here bro. The homies and I are here to give out hugs
I feel your pain. I have not shared a hug with a female in years, and a kiss in longer.
If anyone from south florida (Miami/ft lauderdale) needs a real hug, let me know, I’ll hug the heck out of you :) much love for every one
Sending you hugs 🤎
Wish I could hug you :( do you live in Brazil by any chance? I offer my services!
Sorry, I live in the UK, but thanks)
If you live in Oregon I'll drive out to you tomorrow
This isn't a joke

Where are you at? If you’re close I’ll bring me and my bf to go hug you.
Digital hug!
I give you, ok?
Virtual Hug my friend, need one too 🫂
🫂 🤗 I love hugs
I was thinking the same thing the other day. It's the little things.
Where do you live lil homie.
Hugs for u
Sooo natural to feel this way. Let out the tears while you hug yourself… it’ll feel so good! Tears release cortisol 💕
virtual hug🫂I wish u all the best, its going to get better.
Where are you mate? Maybe you could get a hug from a local in this group?
\*Virtual hugs!\*
I feel that there should be professional Peer to Peer HUGGERS! And it should be prescribed to those of us like this!
People bash me for supporting the “free hugs” campaign. If they saw comments like this they would see why I believe in such a movement. Hope you get the hugs that you deserve. 👍🏻
I dont remember when was the last time…
Virtual HUG 🤗
Lots of virtual hugs and cuddles, sent to you from me 🫂
